2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · CP15 ULE

The 2015 FIAT 500 presents a stable maintenance trend, though its most recent MOT on 26 April 2025 at 31,349 miles is now over a year old. The tester recorded zero defects at that time, confirming the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards. While a failed test appears on the record for 23 May 2024 at 27,860 miles, the absence of any recorded defects against that failure suggests an administrative anomaly or a rectified minor issue rather than a recurring mechanical fault. The subsequent pass later that same day reinforces the conclusion that the car remains in sound operational condition, but a fresh test would be required to verify its current state. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with a lightly used urban runabout. Between 23 May 2022 at 19,735 miles and 6 May 2023 at 23,586 miles, the car covered 3,851 miles. The following year, from May 2023 to 23 May 2024 at 27,860 miles, it accumulated 4,274 miles. Most notably, the vehicle has barely moved in the last twelve months, traveling just 3,489 miles between the May 2024 test and the April 2025 test at 31,349 miles, with no further mileage recorded since. This exceptionally low annual usage of roughly 2,850 miles indicates minimal wear on drivetrain components, though prolonged stationary periods can cause flat-spotting on tyres and brake disc corrosion. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection must account for the specific risks associated with low-mileage, short-journey driving. Buyers should closely examine the brake discs for surface rust and check the tyre sidewalls for cracking or deformation from standing in one position. Suspension bushes and coil springs rarely suffer wear at this mileage, but a thorough check for perishing rubber is prudent given the car's age. The exhaust system and catalytic converter require a cold start to verify the engine reaches optimal operating temperature quickly, ensuring the emissions system functions efficiently. Structural integrity around the sills and subframes demands a moisture meter check, as city driving through road salt can accelerate corrosion regardless of the odometer reading.
